Lentils Bowl Recipe

Rinse the lentils under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove any debris or dust.

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until lentils are tender.

While the lentils are cooking, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In another saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add chopped red onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add diced carrot and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes.

Season the vegetable mixture with cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

In a large bowl, layer the cooked quinoa at the bottom.

Add a generous serving of the lentils on top of the quinoa.

Spoon the sautéed vegetable mixture over the lentils.

Slice the avocado and place it on top of the bowl.

Sprinkle fresh parsley and crumbled feta cheese over the entire bowl.

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Lentils Bowl!
